[Closed] Are my Pikes failing?

I'm running at just over 13 stone after winter builder fuelling to keep warm. My Pikes are 6 months old, the lockout doesn't seem as good as when they were new but the most noticeable thing is I'm now having to run them at 95/100 psi to stop them diving during any uneven braking whilst pushing hard into any cornering. Regularly hitting full travel according to the marker also. Lose some weight or go warranty?

95 psi seems a bit low doesn't it?

Have you had them serviced? See thread from yesterday about rct3 lockouy problems.

95psi on the fork guide is for 200 lbs plus rider. They are 2016 l version and only 6 months old. Surely they shouldn't need servicing just yet should they?

Have you done a lower leg service/lubrication oil change? if not they'll be feeling rubbish 😉

Full service due 200 hours 12/18 month as rule of thumb

Depends on how much you've used them in 6 months really.

Edit: the man's here now!
